Pilot that Flew 'Cheaters' Banner over Gillette Stadium Told to Leave Mansfield

The pilot that flew a banner over Gillette Stadium during the first day of training camp paid for by a New York Jets fan web site will probably not come back to Mansfield or the area after being told to leave the airport shortly after landing.

Ashley Chalmers, owner of Jersey Shore Aerial Advertising, was paid to fly a banner over Gillette Stadium last week that said, “Cheaters Look Up!” Chalmers told the Boston Globe that an airport worker told him to leave and not come back while he was packing up the banner at Mansfield Municipal Airport.

Kelley Dinneen, president of King Aviation Mansfield, said Chalmers was asked to leave, but the request was “tongue in cheek.” According to Deigned, Chalmers informed the operator of the airport over the phone that the banner would not be anti-Patriots, noting that he would not have been allowed to land if he said what the banner was.

She referred to the banner as a form of bullying and childish.

“They should be focused on the positive aspects of the game, not negativity,” she said to the Globe.
